Moving on...

emptied bedroom

4 years of accumulated STUFF

On the 1st day of May 2011, I moved out from the place I called home for the past 2 years. It took me forever to finish packing but I managed. I just didn't sleep and packed 'til the sun came up. I seriously underestimated the amount of stuff I accumulated. I thought one day of packing was enough but clearly it wasn't. It was physically and emotionally draining to say the least. As I packed my belongings, I was reminded of so many memories both good and bad. Some I wish I could relive and some I wish I could just forget. Letting go and moving on is always hard but that's life. And right outside my door was the next chapter of my life. As I stepped out and brought with my the last box of my things, it hit me, my college life was officially over.

6 Month BUMsarry

2011-10-12T05:25:00.001+08:00

This week marks my 6th month of being a bum. And currently, I'm just trying to get my driver's license here in California. I took the behind the wheel exam earlier today and flunked :( I still have 2 more tries. I'm hoping I'll pass it on my 2nd go.

I know I haven't updated this blog in so long so I thought I'd just recap what I've been doing for the past 6 months or so in the coming posts.

LIVE!

I wish I made these awesome videos. So inspiring! Makes me want to go out and explore the world,
experience new things, learn new cultures, and be a better man.

Forgiveness

2011-08-08T14:28:00.000+08:00

I heard this song on the radio the other day and it got me thinking about forgiveness.

Are you the type to forgive and forget? Just forgive but never forget?

Can time really mend broken hearts? Rebuild broken bridges?

Is a simple apology all it really takes? Distance from one another perhaps?

Many people have done me wrong and lately I've realized that I forgive quite easily.

I don't know if this is such a good thing but what the hay. Life is too short to dwell on the negatives right?

Forgive a little, Laugh a lot, Love plenty.

Holiday Chills

2010-12-05T00:44:00.001+08:00

McDonald's got some NEW Holiday Chills!

And I got me self some.

Curiosity got the best of me so I went ahead and ordered the Creamy Brazo Sundae.
The Creamy Brazo Sundae costs Php32.00. It consists of vanilla sundae with creamy
brazo syrup topped with choco flakes.

My verdict: I liked everything about it except the creamy brazo syrup. I couldn't get
enough of the choco flakes though. It was goooood :) But the syrup... YUCKKK.

The story we all loved/hated when we were kids is finally being given a dark twist!

Book 5 is finally out! Weeeeee! :D Got hooked to the series over the summer.
And as much as I'd like to get my hands on this book right now I simply don't
have the budget. I gotta prioritize my expenses. Sigh. Oh well. Hopefully
someone will get me this for Christmas? :) A little wishful thinking wouldn't
hurt right? hehe :)

And oh! I can't wait to see the rest of the books made into movies. I really enjoyed the 1st one.
Hope you guys are having a great day!
:)

Got Me Flippin'

2010-11-17T23:12:00.001+08:00

After watching this video by Everywhere We Shoot:

1. I NEED a FLIP NOW

2. I miss video production class

3. I miss making videos (shooting, editing, hours and all)

4. Part of me will always want to be a music video director

Yogurt + Jelly

2010-11-08T11:30:00.000+08:00

I finally got to try Nestle's Fruit selection yogurt + jelly!

I've been wanting to try this for the longest time but the convenience stores near my place never
carried it or never had stock. But finally! I saw it on their shelves last night. Woot woot! And it did
not disappoint. I'm a big fan of their yogurt and have been eating it for quite a few years already.
Add yogurt to that equation and you get this fun yummy goodness!

If you haven't tried this already you ought to rush to your nearest convenient store or grocery and give it a try! Have a nice day ya'll!

P.S. I was not paid to do this post. I just really love their yogurt. Though I should really get paid for this no?

Rosario

2010-11-05T03:00:00.006+08:00

I CANNOT wait to watch this film ^_^

STORY:

The film tells the saga of Rosario, a young and liberated Filipina in the 1920s who has just arrived from New York, and is spending her vacation in their hacienda. There, she meets and falls in love with Vicente, an older man who manages the tobacco plantation owned by Rosario's family. When Rosario's father finds out about his daughter's scandalous affair, he sends Rosario to a convent. She escapes, and elopes with Vicente to Manila where they raise a family. But Rosario's life of married bliss slowly crumbles when Vicente becomes ill with tuberculosis, and she is lured to committing adultery. Temptation and scandal still hound Rosario as she continues to defy the moral restrictions of her time. Based on a true story and set in one of the most colorful periods in Philippine history, ROSARIO is destined to be a modern masterpiece in Philippine filmmaking. It is a monumental yet intimate portraitof a woman's emancipation and the sometimes painful consequencesof following one's desires.

I'm really loving this little girl. Willow Smith, the 9 year old daughter of Hollywood power couple, Will and Jada Smith.
YES. NINE. She's wise beyond her age and very much determined and talented.
This is her 1st single. One of many hits to come I'm sure with Jay-Z backing her.
I'm excited to see what she has in store for us!
:)

P.S. Doesn't she just make you feel bad about how you spent your childhood?
